Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

THERE ARE still plenty of millennium holidays left, ranging from long-haul destinations such as Mauritius, Barbados and St Lucia, available from Elegant Resorts, to short breaks in European capital cities (everyone is offering Paris, including Time Off, Thomson and Thomas Cook).

For those with more energy, Neilson Ski reports availability in Romania. Further afield, Travelbag Adventures has space available to Ecuador and Cameroon. But the ultimate away-from-it-all holiday is selling slowly, according to Exodus Travels: There are still plenty of spaces if you want to spend pounds 1,100 on a snow-shoeing break in Uzbekistan and see in the New Year in a traditional Uzbek yurt.
